Past workshop attendees report that they are highly confident in their ability to facilitate Active Living programs after completing the training. Here are a couple of comments from past trainings:

“I enjoyed my day of facilitator training so much that I was sorry when it was over! You really made it a lot of fun...as well as educational!”
Judi Shrader, Terrace Community Management

"I really enjoyed the Active Living Every Day training. Our training facilitator was amazing. She went through a lot of information and managed to keep the class lighthearted and fun while doing it. I also liked interacting with the other participants to see what their plans were for their programs and sharing ideas. We are all planning to stay in touch and share ideas as we start our Active Living Every Day programs. I look forward to implementing what I have learned.”
Christine Bruchac, Active for Life Center of the National Capital Region, JCA
